@elaterite I cut & pasted part of your question ("AI Free" third-party certification organization) into DuckDuckGo and found this site which seems to be what you were asking for. https://www.aifreecert.com/

Rather than duplicate the effort, it would probably be better to work with them to build up the systems for verification. Also, invite them onto Mastodon. #FPNF

"Mental Health in Aviation Act Clears US House" by Flying Magazine (Fediverse presence not found #FPNF - if you know them, invite them) - Bill advances from US House to Senate, which is no guarantee it will get any farther.
